Product Description

24/7 Parking Surveillance
- Directly to the battery for constant 24hrs/7days power to protect against theft when your car is in the parking lot.
- Directly to the ignition wire for power only so it can turn on and off with the ignition.
Compatible 12 – 24V Vehicles
This hardwire kit accepts voltage from any type of vehicles runs on 12 – 24V, works perfect for car, truck, bus, suvs, or big rig for continuous power.
Low Voltage Protection
Smart low voltage protection automatically shut off the power to your dash cam when the battery voltage drops to 11.6V(12V cars) or 23.2V(24V cars), which can protect your car battery from being drained.
Find the Correct Fuse Slot
Open the fuse box, find the correct fuse slot for your hardwire kit. If you need to find an ignition switched fuse, put the key in the vehicle, find the fuse which is not lit up while the car is off, and test it by turning the car on to see if it lights up. If your kit requires constant power, turn off the car and remove the key to see which fuse slots stays lit on.
Connect the Red Wire and Yellow Wire
Once you've determined which fuse slots you need to use for your hardwiring kit you can crimp the red wire of your hardwire kit onto the Add-A-Fuse. Gently remove the fuse you identified. Install the fuse you just removed into the installation kit add-a-fuse circuit. Plug the add-a-circuit into the fuse box in the correct orientation. And the Yellow should be connected to the ACC.
Ground the Hardwiring Kit
Slip the black wire (which is in the shape of a C) under a metal bolt or screw in your vehicle (this is the ground wire). Check that it is not attached onto plastic parts. You will typically need a socket wrench to loosen the nut or bolt that you choose to ground with. To attach the grounding terminal, loosen the nut or bolt enough to slip it in and tighten it back up afterwards.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2025Verified PurchaseI installed this hardwire kit in my 2025 Honda CR-V for my Vantrue N5 dashcam, and it’s been working flawlessly since day one. The installation process was pretty straightforward, especially after watching the provided video guide. The cables are long enough for a clean, tucked installation, and everything feels high quality right out of the box.
The biggest win for me is the 24/7 parking surveillance feature. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dashcam is always powered, even when the car is off. The ACC functionality works seamlessly—my N5 automatically switches to parking mode when I shut off the engine and resumes normal recording when I start the car again.
I also appreciate the built-in low voltage protection. It’s great knowing that the system will shut off if the battery voltage drops too low—so I don’t have to worry about draining the battery if my car sits for a while.
So far, the performance has been rock solid. No connection issues, no unexpected shutoffs, and the dashcam is always powered when it needs to be. It really takes the Vantrue N5 to the next level.

✅ Why I Recommend It:
• Easy install with clear instructions
• Works perfectly with Vantrue N5 and CR-V 2025
• ACC function transitions dashcam modes seamlessly
• 24/7 surveillance for added security
• Battery-saving low voltage cutoff for peace of mind
⸻
If you’re using a Vantrue dashcam and want a clean, reliable power solution, this kit is 100% worth it. It’s made my setup feel complete.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2025Verified PurchaseItem was great and the instructions were very clear, I was able to install myself with the help of the video tutorial included in the product
- Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2025Verified PurchaseEverything you need to do a perminant dash cam install.Instructins brief but clear.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 6, 2025Verified PurchaseAs others have mentioned in the 1 star reviews, I received a defective, partially working unit.
The unit failed to disconnect power when the set low voltage cut-off was reached.
This means that IT WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY COMPLETELY when in parking mode.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 19, 2024Verified PurchaseUsed this power supply in combination with the VANTRUE E1 Lite WiFi Mini Dash Cam.
Excellent and like the idea the camera is still powered (minimal current) when the car is parked so the park monitoring mode works and will record/store a video if there's an impact.
The Power supply connecting to the Lighter option does not allow this.
Very happy and user guide was clear; looked at some of the videos available on the manufacturer's website and was pretty easy to install. The most time consuming part was to find what fuse to piggy back.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 27, 2024Verified PurchaseWould not recommend. Could not get power to camera. Not my first time with car electrical. I’ve done $10k stereos myself. I figured I would save myself the hassle of buying each component separate and splicing it myself by buying this kit. That was a mistake. I did it exactly as the instructions say, included butt connectors, constant and acc fuse taps, confirmed good ground with a multimeter. No power to camera. Chnaged ground location and confirmed again. Confirmed power at fuse box with key off/key on. Removed butt connectors and direct spliced and soldered. STILL NO POWER. Camera works perfect with cigarette lighter plug but if I wanted that I wouldn’t have spent money on this. Very disappointed. I’ve spent 8hrs trying to get this to work. I give up.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 29, 2023Verified PurchaseThe hardwire kit offers a seamless way to power my dash cam, eliminating the need for a separate power cable connected to the car’s lighter socket. This not only frees up the socket for other devices but also provides a cleaner and more discreet setup.
One of the standout features is the voltage protection system, which prevents the kit from draining the car’s battery when the vehicle is turned off. This feature provides peace of mind, knowing that my car will start without any issues, even after extended parking.
Installation was straightforward, and the included cable length was more than sufficient to reach the dash cam. The kit also includes various fuse types and a clear installation guide, making it accessible for users with different car models.
In summary, the Vantrue Type C USB Dash Cam Hardwire Kit has greatly improved my dash cam setup. It offers a clean and reliable power source, voltage protection, and ease of installation. If you own a Vantrue dash cam and want a hassle-free way to hardwire it into your vehicle, this kit is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it to enhance your dash cam experience and simplify your car’s cable management.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2023Verified PurchaseThis is a really good add on for the Vantrue cameras, and gives you the ability to keep parking mode enabled without the risk of killing your battery due to low voltage. You can also leave parking mode off on your camera and just have the camera switch on and off with the ignition. It gives a nice professional looking installation to your camera.
Yes you could just wire the camera voltage to a switched accessory without this kit, but with the added functionality and the low cost of this kit, you would not be saving any money. Its worth it if you are going to hardwire.
On a related note, the passenger fuse boxes on F150 trucks from 2009 to 2014 ish that have low profile micro mini fuses, the fuse adapter/tap for the mini fuse will not fit. Instead just use the adapter for the mini fuses with the longer conductors. they are only a mm off the width, and are long enough to seat firmly without leaving an exposed conductor. I had to modify my fuse cover a bit but it still worked good.
